Pilot Rise helps you become a pilot with a plan that fits your life and schedule. Financing is simply a tool to help you start sooner and stay consistent.
Our goal is not just your next rating — it is preparing you for a prosperous aviation career, including a typical maximum airline career path plan of $85,000.
Stratus Finance helps aspiring pilots finance their flight training by providing loans that typically cover the entire cost of a structured training program upfront. Their financing is designed for students pursuing professional pilot careers, allowing you to focus on training rather than paying as you go.
Flight Training Finance offers flexible financing options that are often easier to qualify for than traditional career-training loans. Their loans are typically designed to finance one certificate at a time, giving you the flexibility to borrow only what you need as you progress through your training.
Unlike many flight schools, Pilot Rise does not require a large upfront payment or prepaid course package. Pay for lessons as they occur, keep control of your training funds, and adjust your pace without putting a major balance at risk. For students who can fund consistent lessons, this is one of the simplest and lowest-risk ways to train.
Some students want a full zero-to-instructor path.
Some just need help finishing an instrument rating.
Some want steady monthly payments.
Others want maximum flexibility.
That’s why we offer multiple options — and we’ll help you choose the one that fits your goal, your timeline, and how you want to train.
And you’re not limited to our partners. If you have your own bank, credit union, or third-party lender, we can work with that too.
Financing disclosure: Pilot Rise is not the lender. Approval, rates, fees, terms, disbursement, and repayment are controlled by the lender and your written agreement. Financing changes when training is paid for; it does not reduce the training, proficiency, FAA, or checkride requirements.
Outside financing is accepted. Treatment of unused or returned funds varies by lender and agreement, so verify it in writing before signing. Compare the Cost Planner, Career Pilot Program, all Courses, and Detailed Prices.
Let's build a tailored training and financing plan that fits you — before you apply anywhere.
